Root Explanation

Unashamedly → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not), "ashamed" (from Old English "ascamian", meaning to feel shame), and "-ly" (meaning in a manner). The word "unashamedly" means in a manner that is not feeling shame or embarrassment.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') feeling 'shame' ('ashamed') and doing something 'in a manner' ('-ly') — that's why unashamedly means doing something without feeling embarrassed.
